Australia: Music industry raids Kazaa offices

Postby Class316 on Fri Feb 06, 2004 7:45 pm

Investigators from the Australian recording industry raided the Sydney offices of Internet file-swapping network Kazaa on Friday in search of evidence to support allegations of copyright infringements.

The raid was conducted under a rarely used law, known as Anton Pillar, which allows litigants in civil copyright cases to gather evidence.

The Federal Court gave major Australian record labels permission to raid 12 premises in three states to collect evidence against Kazaa, said Michael Speck, general manager of Music Industry Piracy Investigations. The group is owned by Universal, Festival Mushroom Records, EMI Music, Sony Music, BMG Australia, and Warner Music Australia, part of CNN's parent company Time Warner Inc.

As usual with their type, whenever they lose court cases it's never good enough, they have to push further and further! :evil:
